NEW School Year Kickoff – On Tuesday, August 12, CGRESD welcomed back nearly 200 employees for Opening Day. For the first time in about five years, we were all together in the same room, gathering in the beautiful conference room of the new CTE Education Center. Awards were presented to employees celebrating 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 years of service, and retirees were honored. We’re excited for the year ahead—welcome back, everyone! #CGRESD #ourstory

REMC 5 Director Joe Trommater worked with teachers at Beaverton High School to explore staff and student uses of AI in schools. They explored different tools and pitched them to each other before examining ways they can help students maintain integrity and honesty in a world where shortcuts are easy. #CGRESD #ourstory
